It's my experience that pre-built systems are loaded so full of crap when
you buy them, it's surprising they run at all.
When friends of mine buy pre-built comps ( against my advice of couse :) ),
I always just format the HD, re-install windoze, and then install just the
software they want.
I've actually benchmarked this with ZDBoP's suite of benchmarks, and seena
10-15% improvement.
